Shenzhen (27 February, 2024): AutoFlight, the eVTOL pioneer, today presented the world’s first inter-city electric air-taxidemonstration flight between the southern Chinese cities of Shenzhen and Zhuhai.
AutoFlight’s five-seater Prosperity eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) aircraft completed a significant milestone by autonomously flying a 100km (62 miles) roundtrip route from Shenzhen to Zhuhai and back. The flight from Shenzhen to Zhuhai across the Pearl River Delta took just 20 minutes, a journey that would require three hours by car. This achievement marks the world’s first public flight of an eVTOL aircraft on a cross-sea and inter-city route, spanning across the bay where the Pearl River meets the sea, connecting the two southern Chinese cities of Shenzhen and Zhuhai.
